As everyone says they both will do the job the same. I used to use my phunnel all the time but I broke it and decided to go for a vortex. After smoking from both of them I lean a bit more towards the vortex because it is shorter and I can use a standard windcover on it without rigging something up with my tongs. Also I felt that it took a bit more trial and error to get my phunnel to smoke properly with certain tobaccos but with the vortex I had it smoking easy on my first try. With either bowl you will not be disappointed.

I just wanted to put my two cents in, If you look at the homemade section there are about 50 phunnel mods, I don't see why I would buy a bowl that I have to tweek to make smoke just right, and basicly they are just turning it into a vortex, its easier to pack a vortex anyways, I mean there no reall trick to it...

you DONT have to tweak it to smoke right. People who buy knockoff chinese funnels may have to but not genuine Tangiers brand.

I have never used a mod in several kilos out of my funnel and I enjoy every smoke just fine.

People do stupid and mysterious things all the time but I do not let it define my world lol.

+1 to this. I tried a MOD a few times in the beginning but found it really didn't do anything except use less tobacco. Since I am trying to keep my smoking ahead of my buying it was working against me.

yeah I saw it.. I normally put cheaper tobacco in there like nakhla mint.. in the bottoms.. i dont want to use this alluminium there..
and also vortex have to be cleaned.. cus if the shisha is juicy then it will go down the small holes and block them and so on..
but small phunnel with mod takes perfect ammount of shisha.. about 10 grams..
doesnt have to be cleaned ever... perfect draw and everything is just perfect with small tangiers phunnel with scalli....
